Bringing Identity Governance Out of the Dark: Active Directory and IBM i Account Auditing at Scale

A 20+ year old identity estate — Active Directory plus a parallel IBM i user profile store — had never been audited end to end. Accounts accumulate for decades of manufacturing operations, M&A, and staff turnover with no attrition process: nobody was disabling what nobody was using. The actual scale of the problem was unknown because nobody had measured it. Guesses about 'stale accounts' or 'who has admin rights' were opinions, not numbers.

Supplier Logistics Bottlenecks

Manufacturing

Supplier Logistics Bottlenecks

The company was experiencing recurring issues with raw material suppliers, including late deliveries and inconsistent material quality. Production teams felt the impact, but the organization lacked a consistent way to measure supplier performance or identify patterns over time. Supplier problems were often discussed anecdotally, making it difficult for sourcing managers to determine which suppliers required attention and whether the issues were related to logistics, product quality, or both.

Continuous Security Monitoring Across a Multi-Site Manufacturing Network

Continuous Security Monitoring Across a Multi-Site Manufacturing Network

Security posture across a multi-site manufacturing network — domestic and international operations, ERP-adjacent systems, and a mix of legacy and modern infrastructure — was assessed reactively. WAN exposure, certificate expiry, domain renewal, and service uptime were checked manually or not at all until something broke. There was no single place to answer 'are we exposed right now' with evidence instead of a guess, and no continuous record to show auditors or leadership.
